Through the Black
Resilience in Shadows: A Journey Through the Black
Lyrics
I’ve been rejected, I’ve played the fool
I have faced rejection and experienced foolishness
I’ve been abandoned, words have cut me through
I have been abandoned, and hurtful words have deeply affected me
I’ve been addicted, I’ve been ashamed
I have struggled with addiction and felt shame
I hid the evidence and lied to your face
I concealed evidence and lied directly to someone's face
Ever straining under pressure, in a dream I can try
Under pressure, I strive in dreams but struggle to escape
But I never seem to get away
Despite efforts, I find it challenging to break free
Then you lead me through the black
Guided through difficult times and challenges
When I thought I’d never see again
When I believed I would never experience clarity again
Empty heart and she brought it back
My heart was empty, but someone filled it with love
Never thought I could believe (again)
I never thought I could believe in love or goodness again
My world’s been shattered, I’ll make it plain
My world has been shattered, and I express it plainly
The loss so bitter in a veil of pain
The profound loss is bitter, shrouded in pain
I pointed fingers, I walked in fear
I blamed others and lived in fear, pointing fingers
I played the victim well for all to hear
I portrayed myself as a victim for everyone to hear
Ever blaming, in depression, empty dreams fill my nights
Amid depression, I blame others, and empty dreams haunt my nights
That just never seem to find the day…
Those dreams never seem to materialize into reality
Then you lead me through the black
Guided through challenging situations and darkness
When I thought I’d never see again
When I thought clarity and light were forever lost
Empty heart and she brought it back
My heart was empty, but someone filled it with love
Never thought I could believe (again)
I never thought I could believe in love or goodness again
Down, not broken
Expressing resilience and strength despite being down
Down, not broken
-Down, not broken
-Down, not broken
-Then you lead me through the black
Guided through challenging situations and darkness once more
When I thought I’d never see again
When I believed clarity and light were forever lost again
Empty heart and she brought it back
My heart was empty, but someone filled it with love
Never thought I could believe (again)
I never thought I could believe in love or goodness again
Down, not broken
Emphasizing resilience and strength despite challenges
Down, not broken
-Down, not broken
-I'm not broken
Asserting that despite challenges, the speaker is not broken
